Abstract
Mass-resolved, resonant multiphoton ionization (MPI) spectroscopy has been used to identify and characterize transient species produced in a pulsed, supersonic glow discharge source. Vibrationally hot (up to v″=9), but rotationally cold nitric oxide is characterized by (1+1) MPI via the A 2Σ+ state and (2+1) MPI through the C 2Πr state. Nine A←X and six C←X hot bands are observed; only four of these have been previously characterized. Accidentally overlapping C and A state hot bands can be separately studied by using different order MPI schemes. Implications for several previous studies are discussed. Additionally, the 3P0,2 metastable rare gas atoms are readily formed and detected by MPI as are metal atoms sputtered from the electrodes.
